Application filed April 17,1922.

To all whom it may concern. I

Be it known that I, HENRY E. OilsoN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oil Burners, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to new. and useful improvements in oil burners adapted for general application, and has for its primary object the provision of means to improve upon the burner disclosed in my prior Patent #1301304.

The principal object of the invention resides in the provision of means associated with the burner whereby the gas therefrom can be caused to be ignited at points remote from the burner proper, and whereby three separate and distinct flames can be effected, two of which are disposed remote from the main gas outlet or burner.

Another important object of the invention is to provide means of the above mentioned character which are so constructed that they also provide the burnerwith means for coinpensating for wear incident to a flame constantly impinging the same.

A further object of the invention resides in the provision of deflector means which acts to spread the flame laterally from the p thereof having the elbow10, associated burner proper.

Other objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent during the course of the following description.

In the accompanying drawings forming a part of the description and wherein like numerals are employed to designate like parts throughout the several views,

Figure 1 is a vertical section through the invention,

Figure 2 is a top plan of the same,

Figure 3 is a transverse section taken 011 the line 33 of Fig. 2,

Figure 1 is a side elevation of a modified form of deflector.

In the drawings wherein for the purpose of illustration is shown the preferred embodiment of the invention, designates avalved oil or supply pipe which is connected at one end by an elbow 6 to an elongated pipe section 7. The other end of this section is connected by an elbow 8 to a section 9 extending at right angles to the pipe 7 and in the same plane therewith, and this section is in turn connected by an elbow the closed top threaded into the numeral 5 Serial No. 553,535.

"1 0 to an elongated pipe 11 which extends parallel to the pipe7 and in the same horizontal plane therewith. This pipe llforms a guide for a dome shaped deflector 12 so that the latter can be slidably mounted. As best seen in Fig. 3, this deflector is provided with aclosed dome shaped top 13, and the sides of the deflector at diametrically opposed points are provided with openings 14 which are cut into the sides of the deflector from the lower edge thereof.

The supporting element for the dome consists of an L-shaped pipe section, the short vertical arm 16 of which is threaded into of the deflector. The horizontal arm 17 of this supporting element is elongated and is adapted to rest upon the horizontal pipe section 11 as clearly shown in Fig. 3 with the lower open end of the deflector facing downwardly. It will be seen that the supporting element 15 will be bal anced upon the pipe section 11 and can be positioned upon the same at various points throughout its length. If it be desired that the deflector 12 remain stationary with respect to its supporting pipe 11, the latter can be provided with a T-shaped union 18 into which screws an upstanding nipple 19 the closed top of the deflector. The end of the pipe 11 opposite the end therewith, is provided with a' similar elbow 20 for supporting a transversely extending nipple 21 which is arranged in the same horizontal plane with the pipes 7 and 11. This nipple is connected by an elbow 22 to an elongated pipe section 23 which extends parallel to the pipe 11 and is also arranged in the same plane therewith. These pipes and elbows form a heating coil disposed in a horizontal plane for a purpose which will presently appear.

The pipe 23 is connected by an elbow 2-1 to an inclined depending pipe section 25 which in turn is connected by an elbow 26 to the burner pipe 27. clined so that the burner pipe 27 will be disposed directly beneath the pipe 11. The other end of the burner pipe is connected by an elbow 28 to a nipple 29 which in turn is connected by an elbow 30 to an elongated pipe section 31 which is arranged parallel to the burner pipe 27 and directly beneath the same. The other end of this pipe section 31 terminates in a T-shaped union 32, into The pipe 25 is in ranged adjacent the the horizontal arms of which are screwed nipples 33 having their outer ends closed by removable caps 3st. These nipples form carbon deposit chambers for the burner and any carbon becoming lodged therein can be readily removed by simply displacing the caps 34 so that access to the interior of the chambers may be had.

The intermediate portion of the burner pipe 27 at its upper side is provided with a gas outlet opening 35 over which is disposed the dome shaped deflector 12. Constituting a part of the burner are a pair of tubes 36 mounted upon the burner pipe 27, and it will be noted that the diameter of these tubes is larger than that of the burner pipe so that gas from the outlet opening 35 can pass through the tubes 36 to the outer ends thereof. WVhen it is desired to render the burner practically noiseless, and to use the same in conjunction with a furnace so that the side walls thereof will be heated to a high degree, the tubes 36 are moved toward each other until their inner ends abut and cover the outlet opening 35 in the burner pipe 27. It will then be seen that gas will pass through the tubes to the outer ends thereof where the same can be ignited and the flame directed against the side walls of the furnace. V

In order to prevent the pipe 31 from becoming heated to a high degree, and to pr0- tect the same against the natural detrimental effect of heat and flame, I cover the same with an elongated sleeve or tube 37, theinner walls of which are spaced from the pipe so as to provide an air chamber therearound.

\Vhen the tubes 36 are separated and arelbows 26 and 28, gas from the burner pipe 27 can pass upwardly from the outlet opening 35 and be directed into the dome shaped deflector 12. Upon being ignited the gas causes a flame to shoot up into the deflector whichin turn directs the flame downwardly thereof and out through the slots 14 in tie sides thereof so that the flame will be directed laterally of the burner proper.

The foregoing description and accompanying drawings have reference to what might be considered to be the approved form of my invention. I desire it to be understood that I may make changes in the construction, combination and arrangement of parts, materials, dimensions, etc, as may prove expedient and fall within the scope of the appended claims.

Having thus described my invention what I claim is 1. In a gas burner, the combination with a gas burner, of a horizontal supply pipe arranged above the burner, a dome shaped deflector adapted to be arranged above the burner, and an L-shaped supporting bracket having the free end of one arm secured to the dome and the other arm supported by and slidably engaged with the supporting pipe.

2. A burner comprising a pipe having an outlet aperture therein and a pair of tubes slidably mounted on the pipe whereby they can be moved to abut and cause gas to escape from the burner at points remote from the aperture in said pipe.

3. A bur-ner comprising a pipe having a gas outlet opening, a second pipe having one end connected to one end of the first named pipe and arranged under the same, the outer end of said second pipe having a laterally projecting pipe extending therefrom, and a remov ble cap associated therewith. I

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

HENRY ELIAS OLSON.
